This is a part of the University of Hawaii at Manoa for the Multimedia Development and Design Capstone Project of Amanda Murphy and Tehani Kaopua. Our Capstone Final Project was about the 2nd Annual 2017 University of Hawaii at Manoa Crisis Communication Exercise that featured the Journalism Capstone Students, Dean of College of Social Sciences Denise Konan, State of Hawaii Department of Defense representatives, and other employees of the University of Hawaii. Our project looks at the behind the scenes of crisis communication, the different aspects, and the importance of the practice and process.
